Our Top 5 Chili Recipes for the Super Bowl

Behold ourHalftime Chili. Originally published in the January 1996 issue (although the above image was shot more recently), this recipe won a reader poll conducted in honor of our 50th anniversary and it instantly became one of our most popular chilis.

The recipe comes from a reader featured in our “Too Busy to Cook” column. Richard Snyder, a doctor from Santa Monica, California, used to make this chili when his son and his friends came over to watch football.

One of the best things about this recipe is that it’s basic. You can tweak it, twist it, and add anything you want. It just gets better. People love it.
